Old-fashioned Since the Premiere

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2002)

They say that they do not do movies like this any longer. Truth is that they do not watch movies like this any longer either.
Many good films were filmed on ships - the closed environment, the romantic setup,the taste of adventure related to sea were good premises for memorable movies from 'Ship of Fools' to 'Titanic'. However, 'Legend of 1900' does not deliver - it is long, melodramatic, and despite many beautiful moments lacks the artistic glue to make of it the big and memorable movie it could be.
I was disappointed. This was the most American movie made by an American team after the spaghetti Westerns. It's place is in the archives since the moment it was launched.
